Open Space | Prime, Samantha Mink, 2022

Prime by Samantha Mink is a masterclass in minimalist, nature-focused design, created to embody both sophistication and serenity. The home’s low profile and linear form echo mid-century modern principles, yet it’s interpreted through a distinctly contemporary lens. Samantha's use of materials like warm wood and concrete is present throughout, giving the home a tactile, grounded feel that complements the surrounding landscape without overshadowing it. A project that has extended 10+ years from start to finish to suite her family's ever changing needs.

The interiors of the home are minimalist yet warm, with thoughtful details. The layout promotes open, flowing spaces, allowing for flexible living and gathering areas without feeling crowded or compartmentalized. Furniture choices and decor are kept understated, with a focus on craftsmanship and quality, allowing the architecture and the natural scenery to be the main attractions. In the outdoor areas, Samantha designed a pool that not only provides a refreshing space for gatherings but also serves as an aesthetic focal point with inspiration from a childhood hotel pool she visited.

Samantha Mink has created more than just a home; she has crafted a living experience that is deeply rooted in an appreciation for simplicity, nature, and mindful design. Her work here speaks to a broader philosophy of architecture — one that respects and celebrates the environment while providing a space for tranquility, balance, and an elevated quality of life.
